I want LO 14months to have a bedroom and it feels like I'm waiting for a miracle.

I feel my OH loves this flat too much or he is reluctant to move. We are in a two bed flat in town. The local parks aren't that great and we don't have any green space. Nearest garden is in the city centre. I want a garden so I don't have to go out all the time so he can work. He says he's fine me being home but when work gets intense or one of us has an off day being in makes it worse. I've told him all this. Also LO doesn't have a bedroom. It's a two bed flat but when it comes to making the second bedroom into a bedroom instead of an office he doesn't want it in my bedroom and he doesn't want it in the living room because it would keep me awake in the bedroom at night if he needed to work late and it would stop me from using the living kitchen. He told me. I'm ok with him coming into the bedroom with it but he's not willing. He's looked for a few houses but I'm not convinced he's into it at all. He has his office and an excuse for any work discrepancies. Living in a house would also make my life easier. Bin on doorstep instead of down the street. I've told him all this but non of the places I've screened for known preferences have been good enough. I feel he's not just being picky but trying to avoid moving altogether. I don't know what I should do. LO is 14months and we're having to sleep with her because we couldn't put her in the cot and I feel my best chance is to give her a bedroom. I personally want to move house so we have space for her and his office. It'd be a bonus if we had a garden for a shed for my workspace later but I just want LO to have a bedroom.

Sharing with a 14 MO isn’t really normal and they should be getting used to sleeping on their own by now. Frame it to your OH in those terms: it’s for your child’s development. If he’s desperate for his own study a house would cater for that anyway.
